Video: Hot City, “Another Girl”

Hot City is ripping garage and funky house up from under the ground and out of the past and handing it to the public on a flashy pink triangle tray. He isn't the only one. It seems like everyone these days has been asking, "Where were u in '92?" but this UK producer has no qualms about twisting and corrupting an established genre framework into something feverishly futuristic. Another Girl" is pure funky gold but the candy shell that coats this bassy house track makes it understandable that he's been picked up by Moshi Moshi Records and not Night Slugs. Everything the guy touches becomes a schizophrenic club banger that could just as easily be heard erupting from a sixteen-year-old girl's bejeweled Blackberry.
